:Oh, that's cool - maybe I'm getting mixed up with exporting alcohol-containing products from the US.

Please give us your input on the scent...I'm sure it smells better than the deodorant or body wash that is available here in the US

To my nose the aftershave smells much better than the body wash or deodorant. I find both the deo and wash to be rather one dimensional, in terms of scent. Upon the initial application, the aftershave does smell like the deo and wash but the scent opens up on the dry down. To me it is a very pleasant spicy clean herbal scent with the slightest bit of powder. I have smelled it somewhere before but I cannot place it. When I think about it, it kind of reminds me of a sweeter version of Whitewater. Overall I am very happy with it and I would but it again, I just wish it was available here in the US.

I just got a bottle of it free!

Well, I popped into Boots (the UK chain) with a view to maybe trying a bottle, and I also needed a replacement bottle of Tabac - and I found they had both of them included in one of their "3 for 2" offers.

So I got my Tabac, plus a bottle of OS Whitewater and a bottle of Champion all for £23.39 - the Champion was the cheapest by a few pennies and was the free one

I'm not very good at describing scents, but I'd say it's a bit herbal and a bit grassy, with a slightly sweet freshness - I'm very impressed on this first sniffing.

I used the Champion after today's shave, and I love it. Thinking more on the fragrance, one thing I've been wondering about recently is whether there are any aftershaves out there that are a bit like a lighter, fresher and less sweet version of Brut - and I think that is close to describing Champion. Does that make any sense to people who have tried it?

(Btw, if it really is only a limited edition for the Olympics year, I'm strongly tempted to get a few more bottles to stash away)

What is the best way to acquire this if you're located in the US?

**xillion** · 05-09-2013, 08:48 AM

I bought mine from a seller in the UK last year. As far as I known, the glass bottle after shave was never sold in the US. The bay may be your best bet.

I just contacted a seller on ebay - we will see if he's willing to ship to the US.

Thanks!

I forgot to add that it is also available on Amazon UK. I don't know if they offer shipping to the US.

It`s 6$ at local stores, but I passed because it`s a bit too sweet for my taste.

They do not ship this product to the US. I tried.
